    No ideas. However, you'll likely get more help if you post
    to comp.soft-sys.stat.spss, and if you indicate which
    version of SPSS you have. Assuming you don't have too many
    observations, you could also post the data (as two columns
    of text, group and score) so that others can try to
    replicate your finding.

    Cheers,
